Copenhagen Central Station is a busy station, but this morning I was lucky to capture an empty platform. I particularly like the play between the orange elektrical light and the blue natural light. Photo by: Jacob Surland

When I exhibited at Chester Art Fair 2015, I got the chance to see Chester Cathedral. An amazingly beautiful cathedral built in the shape of an enormous big cross. It's like it has more churches in one, or many chapels if you like. This pattern on the floor I think is a bit of a secret. It's hidden behind the main altar, next the choir boy's benches. It's a sort of a room right in the middle of the church, but for some reason you miss it.

I forgot my jacket in the car, when I went to shoot photos of Eltz Burg & Eltz Castle. I ended standing for a couple of hours in a light but very cold wind. In the end I was rewarded by this situation, a car leaving the Castle.

On a cold winters morning I found the Sea Stallion sitting alone on the land, wrapped in Christmas lights. The Sea Stallion is the world's largest reproduction of a Viking ship. The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde owns the Sea Stallion. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

Yet another shot from Chester Cathedral - this one I mirrored to get a perfect symmetry. The blue light on the floor comes from some machines, from the opposite part of the photo, that I left out. Ghost light you could call it. Photo by: Jacob Surland

Nyhavn in the Morning
In the heart of Copenhagen in Denmark lies Nyhavn (New Port). It used to be a port for trading goods, but now it's a place, that the people of Copenhagen gather for a cold beer or a homemade Ice cream during the summer. The canal tours also have their starting point here.

Scaffoldings covered half of Rialto Bridge when I visited Venice. This, of course, was a great disappointment, as I had planned to shoot it. I call it Scaffolding Disease, and I seem to suffer from that disease. The good thing about such situations is that you are forced to look for alternative compositions. Compositions that include at maximum half of the bridge and I am not sure I would have shot this shot, had it not been for the search for a unique composition. I wanted a photo of the bridge, and this is one of my shots. I used the roof of a beautiful wooden taxi boat, to capture a reflection of Rialto Bridge.

At daytime Mont Saint Michel is crowded with tourists, but later, when the sun is down people leave the place. It's a labyrinth of small streets and alleys criss crossing their way to the entrance of the monastery on the top of the mountain. Small lamps light up and make it very Harry Potter medieval town.

Rubjergknude light house is no longer in service. It is half covered in a sand dune. There used to be a cafe only a few years ago, but the pressure from the sand, broke the house. You can still see the remains of it.

A grand view of Paris seen from the top of the Arch of Triumph. The weather was not very good for photography, but it was the only chance I had to get up there, so I stayed stubbornly and covered my camera from the rain. And I am happy that I did, I got many good shots from up there. This one is one of my favorites.

I created this image from a series of photos I shot of Åre Ski Mountain this week. The first images I shot at around 5pm before there sunset had even begun, and the last when it was pitch dark. Photo by Jacob Surland

Sydney Opera House is the most photographed building on the southern hemisphere. As a Danish Fine Art photographer, I am very proud, that the architect Jørn Utzon who made the Operahouse is Danish too. This is a view of Harbor Bridge and the Operahouse just as the Sun is rising.

Regent Street in London is ever busy. Even early in the morning, before the Underground has opened, the double decker busses are driving up and down the street. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

After almost 30 years I returned to Salzburg in 2016. I have a strong and wonderful memory of Salzburg. It was the destination of my first real trip abroad. Salzburg was every bit as beautiful as I remembered it. In the blue hour, the river of Salzach turned completely blue. Photo by: Jacob Surland

This nice little restaurant called "Under Lindetræet" is just opposite HC Andersens house in Odense, Denmark. HC Andersen lived on the yellow house on the far right of the image. Photo by: Jacob Surland
